July 23, 2025

Your Guide to Tele-PrEP With Novus

In today’s fast-paced world, access to preventive sexual healthcare is more important than ever. At Novus, we believe protecting your health should be easy, inclusive, and stigma-free. That’s why we’re proud to offer Tele-PrEP: a convenient, discreet way to start and maintain HIV prevention right from the comfort of your home.

What is PrEP?

PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) is a daily medication for HIV-negative individuals that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. When taken consistently, PrEP can lower the risk of getting HIV through sex by about 99% and by at least 74% among people who inject drugs.

What is Tele-PrEP?

Tele-PrEP combines the power of PrEP with the convenience of telehealth. Instead of visiting the clinic in person for every appointment, you can connect with a Novus healthcare provider online. This means easier scheduling, less travel, and more privacy, without compromising the quality of care.

How Tele-PrEP Works at Novus

  1. Initial Consultation

Meet virtually with one of our compassionate, knowledgeable providers to discuss your sexual health, answer questions, and decide if PrEP is right for you.

  1. Lab Work

You’ll visit a local lab for routine tests (such as HIV testing and kidney function tests) required before starting or continuing PrEP.

  1. Prescription & Follow-Ups

Once approved, we send your prescription directly to your pharmacy or arrange delivery. You’ll check in with your provider every three months through a telehealth visit and complete follow-up labs to ensure everything remains safe and effective.

  1. Ongoing Support

Our team is always available to answer your questions, adjust your care plan, and provide resources to help you stay healthy.
